Euromoney corporate development strategy

Euromoney has an outstanding record of creating value for shareholder through acquisitions. Acquisitions have made – and will continue to make – an important contribution to the company’s development.

Investment approach

Euromoney is now a mix of what we call a 2.0 information businesses (digital subscription businesses and networking events) and 3.0 businesses (which operate at the centre of their customers’ industries; sell products deeply embedded in workflow; and help customers find solutions to seize opportunities and overcome threats).

Euromoney’s acquisition approach is to deploy its strong balance sheet to invest in innovative and market-leading businesses in price reporting, data and analytics, digital information, research and in workflow platforms, as well as resilient event businesses with strong growth potential.

Business we look to acquire typically have a number of the following characteristics:

Operate in semi-opaque markets

Have proprietary data or unique intellectual property

Provide “must-have” information or services to their clients

Clearly create value when integrated with our existing business

Have high operating leverage and potential to achieve net margins in excess of 30%
